[Recurring Event] Unofficial Tester Match

Day:
Every Saturday until Armageddon

Time:
Start - 18:00 GMT = 13:00 EST = 10:00 PST (Time Zone Converter)
End - As long as people are willing to play

Purpose:
A friendly gathering of play testers to have fun, find bugs, learn strategies, etc. by playing the latest Empires release.

Just summarizing the results of this thread. Essentially, just setting a specific day/time so that we can get regular matches going. Just show up ready to play full on matches (as long as there are no major gameplay bugs).

I'll be bugging people on Saturdays via steamfriends, but it would be nice to have this as a regular event on the tester steam group

 

I'm so in once I finally get my pm back about the SVN username and password =P

 

You can't setup recurring events on Steam AFAIK.

 

Doesn't mean he can't schedule a bunch.

 

If you need a server (european one) you can steam message me for the official one. (so I can check its updated and/or running properly)

 

Just need an updated server every Saturday till 2.2 is released.

 

finally i can make this test. woot..

lets make it huge biznitches.
48 ppls yo.

And Megel said no one ever looks at his site.

Megel's site =! Announcement page

 

The steam events say 13:00 PST. Whoever posted the events did it wrong.

 

True, its 4 hours later than expected? ;p

 

So I woke up this early for nothing?

 

Pug started a minute ago

 

Yeah, the steam event was initially wrong, but Lithium changed it.

We had about 22-23 people attend and played 3 matches (slaughtered, canyon, duststorm).

Thanks to everyone who attended! I'd like to see this become a regular event (even after 2.2 is released) so we can get some pretty good tester/vet matches going every Saturday. I find Empires is most fun when you have teams full of good players.

 

wtf happened to the CV health. Someone sneezed at it and it asploded.

EDIT: Spoke to Kylegar, appears it may be some bio-related issue. Even though CV armour is custom, he said it might still have properties of plain (i.e. double damage from bio weapons)

 

CV armor isn't custom, it's plain.

 

ya... plain crap.

 

He said he coded in some custom armour. Either way its taking double damage from bio which is ridiculous considering its the CV, and as a result its dying very quickly. Give it compo.

 

LOL! So thats why your CV died so quickly. Good thing I went BIOAPCs

 

You might aswell have researched Deathray. There isn't a whole lot of difference. The command vehicle is supposed to be super strong to prevent rushes. Hence I often use it to soak up fire for my team at the front line. To get rushed by 1 bioapc and die when i was doing fine against other stuff, kinda shitty D:
